Abstract Purpose of Review Obesity is a growing global healthcare concern. A proposed driver the recent increase in ultra-processed food (UPF) intake. However, disagreement surrounds concept UPF, strength evidence, and suggested mechanisms. Therefore, this review aimed to critically appraise evidence on UPF obesity. Recent Findings Observational studies demonstrate positive associations between intake, weight gain, overweight/obesity, more clearly adults than children/adolescents. This supported by high-quality clinical data. Several mechanisms are proposed, but current understanding inconclusive. Summary Greater consumption has been key There need change obesogenic environment support individuals reduce their The novel approach that not explained with existing nutrient- food-based frameworks. Critical analysis methodologies provides confidence, future observational experimental research outputs greater methodological rigor will strengthen findings, which outlined.

Obesity is a multifactorial disease influenced by several factors including poor diet, physical inactivity, and genetic predisposition. In recent years, the social environmental context, along with race/ethnicity gender, have been recognized as influencing obesity risk beyond traditional factors. This review aims to increase knowledge of these causal determinants their implications for treatment management obesity, addressing not only individual but also societal sphere. A growing body evidence emphasizes interaction between environments in shaping personal behaviors related obesity. Social disparities, such socioeconomic status (income, education, employment), racial/ethnic differences, contribute significantly weight gain from childhood adulthood. These cardiovascular factors, independent clinical demographic variables, may lead stigma discrimination against those affected. prevention solutions, community programs national policies, be more effective if they address social, ethnic barriers. Understanding requires comprehensive approach that includes environmental, psychological well biological causes, help experts develop interventions tailored diseases.

ABSTRACT Aim This study examined cardiorespiratory and metabolic responses to activities (supine rest, sitting, standing walking) in children aged 6–12 years with normal weight, overweight obesity, focusing on sex‐specific differences. Overweight obesity were categorised per World Health Organization criteria, emphasising their global health impact. Methods Eighty‐four classified by weight status assessed for heart rate (HR), breathing frequency (BF), minute ventilation (VE), oxygen consumption (VO 2 ), carbon dioxide production (VCO resting energy expenditure (REE) equivalents (METs) during each activity. Statistical analyses compared across sex groups. Results HR, BF VE increased activity intensity all Boys boys had significantly higher HR than reflecting greater cardiac strain. VO VCO elevated particularly girls, indicating demands. exhibited VE/VO VE/VCO ratios low‐intensity activities, reduced ventilatory efficiency. Conclusion Strategies targeting respiratory efficiency, including muscle strengthening endurance exercises, are crucial mitigating obesity‐related strain, girls. These findings highlight the need tailored, interventions address children.

Abstract Background Childhood overweight, especially obesity, significantly impacts children’s health and poses an increased risk of adult-onset diseases. This study aims to analyse the evolution childhood overweight obesity in Belgium from 1997 2018 assess its variation across parental socioeconomic status (SES). Methods The Health Interview Survey, a cross-sectional survey representative Belgian population, has been conducted since 1997, with latest 2018. focuses on children aged 2–17 years. Body Mass Index (BMI, kg/m²) was derived self-reported data, supplemented proxy reports for under 15 years old. Overweight were classified using age/sex-specific cut-off points. Highest educational level served as indicator SES. In addition reporting overall prevalence 95% confidence interval (95%CI) by year, this examines absolute difference between SES groups (low minus high) calculates Odds Ratio (OR, adjusted age sex) evaluate relative difference. Results rose 13.6% (95%CI = 11.2-16.1%) 18.9% 16.3-21.5%) 2018; while it remained stable fluctuating 5.4% 6.3% over same period. increase more pronounced among low compared those high Consequently, time 8.0% points (pp) 14.9 pp 3.1 6.8 obesity. terms inequalities, overall, exhibited higher odds than (OR varying 2 à 3 4 obesity).

Summary Background Early life socioeconomic disadvantage and adverse experiences may lead to overeating, which is in turn associated with increased body mass index (BMI). However, recent evidence indicated that the association between childhood BMI overeating might be bidirectional. This bidirectionality prompts need for further investigation of early predictors childhood. Objectives To longitudinally assess directionality perceived investigate their antecedent predictors. Methods The sample included data from 5151 children ELSPAC study, collected 18 months 11 years child age. outcomes were mother‐reported assessed at age 3, 5, 7 years. Predictors maternal BMI, education, single parenthood, financial difficulties (ACEs) reported by parents paediatricians. random intercept cross‐lagged panel model was applied.

Conclusions We observed stable associations two main pathways: one linked increase followed second mediating social factors leading gradual gain.
